Posted by Paula Scott on March 8, 2023 - 5:08am

The Bluffton University baseball team rallied from a 6-0 deficit to take down Alvernia 11-9 for Head Coach James Grandey's 300th career victory on Tuesday, March 7. The Beavers evened up their season mark at 2-2 with the historic victory.

Bluffton was trailing 6-0 when the Beavers came to bat in the bottom of the fourth inning. Although Alvernia induced a pair of groundouts to start the inning, Bluffton put together a two-out rally for the ages. Senior Adam Yoh (Milford) singled home Seth Altman (Hilliard/Hilliard Davidson) to crack the seal. Nick Diana (Batavia/West Clermont) was hit by a pitch with the bases juiced and Jake Baumgartner (Toledo/Start) made it 6-4 with his two-run single. A base hit to left center by Justin Maurer (Springfield/Kenton Ridge) plated Diana and Baumgartner and knotted the score at 6-6 after four.

New data dashboards report overdoses, substance-use measures by county

Posted by Staff on March 7, 2023 - 1:58pm

The State of Ohio has launched new dashboards to better track and report data on overdose deaths and other substance-use related measures for all 88 Ohio counties. (Integrated Behavioral Health Dashboard)

These statewide dashboards were adopted and expanded from dashboards created through the National Institutes of Health-funded HEALing Communities Study. Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine initially developed community-tailored, data-driven dashboards that included opioid overdose deaths and other opioid use disorder-related measures for 18 counties in Ohio. (2017-2021 Allen County totals)

Using the public health data in these dashboards, communities partnered with researchers to determine which evidence-based interventions to implement to reduce overdoses and opioid misuse. Based on the success of these dashboards in the initial 18 counties in the study, the State of Ohio with RecoveryOhio has now implemented them statewide.
